Gia Program Updates Logo

The Global Innovation Awards program (gia) has updated its logo in order to coincide with the refreshed brand identity of the International Home + Housewares Show, which will become The Inspired Home Show in 2020. The International Housewares Association is the global sponsor of the awards program.

According to gia, the logo has been updated to reflect the new show look and the wording on the logo has also been updated as well.

The competition is structured on a two-tier level, national and global, evaluating retailers within the following categories: overall mission statement, vision and strategy; store design and layout; visual merchandising, displays and window displays; marketing, advertising and promotions; customer service and staff training; and innovation.
